Reckoning with the Force
Reckoning with the Force is a collection of rib-tickling, semi-autobiographical tales written by a former British police officer who was sent to Jamaica as an assistant superintendent and ended up as head of Special Branch.

Police hounds, lay persons and academics alike will enjoy incisive and entertaining portrayal of the enduring Jamaican personality.

Co-star Christopher Plummer remembered, "Here was a siren who had depth, strength, dignity, and humor who could inspire great trust, suggest deep intellect and whose misty languorous eyes melted your heart away!" Garson earned a total o...
